It also significantly simplifies transactions and the flow in the ordering process making it a smooth experience and improving conversion.

The app makes it easier to find good and relevant content by combining several types of navigation and personalization. We have emphasized that the service is comfortable to use and easy to understand for a large user while modernizing and developing the user experience and design for this type of services in NRK.

Monier is a brand new office building which is planned to be finished Q2 2015. The building is owned by Norwegian Property.

Moniers visual identity is based on the building’s architecture which is cubistic and solid. The idea for the logo is derived from the building´s three different window shapes, which is an important characteristic of the Monier building.

As for the logotype, we created a custom typeface inspired by the original signage on the construction site. The alphabet is redrawn in three different widths to fit within Moniers three shaped window concept.

What the client say:
The Monier project has been an exciting experience from the very beginning. Early in the process Bleed identified the unique modular shape of the windows and merged these shapes with letters from the signage of the historic industrial area. This is exactly how we as a property developer like to approach design programs for our buildings. The dynamic use of the logo, both in terms of transparency and flexible letter elements, gives the design another dimension, rarely seen in property development projects. This has made our building stand well out in the market.

Bleed is expanding with two new designers, Camille Dorival and Bjørnar Pedersen.

Bjørnar holds a BA in Graphic Design from Central Saint Martins in London in 2010. He recently moved back to Oslo after gaining work experience from agencies such as Studio Dumbar in Rotterdam and Kokoro & Moi in Helsinki. Camille Dorival has recently earned her masters in Creative Multimedia from the Gobelins School of Paris, and has experience from Rapp France as well being a freelance illustrator.

With a long process and over 100 international applicants, we are proud to end up with such amazing talent!

The jury of the European Design Awards 2014 decided to honor us with 2 distinctions: Silver for the Luminum logo, depicting a lightwave, and Bronze for the website of the norwegian Riksteatret (www.riksteateret.no). Needless to say this makes us proud, again! Thank you ED!
